To my very real delight, I had some long-forgotten yen on my JP account so I am Goemon-ing quite hard. It is a huge shame this hasn’t been localised, if somewhat understandable given only two of the games here ever got translated at all. Anyway, Ganbare Goemon is peak. This collection rules.

hey kids, let me tell you about a piece of "physical media" that's been in production for over 800 years and shows no sign of stopping:

Both issues of OATH so far are available now on my itch.io and Gumroad stores, with issue 3 coming soon! (Cover art by @itmeanspencil.bsky.social) stuartgipp.itch.io stuartgipp.gumroad.com

The world needs more games writing like @vigilsforfriends.com's Journey to Saturn. mattyswebpage.neocities.org/posts/2026-0...

There are things I like about Retroarch but I am getting kind of sick of its shit now, I dunno. The idea of going to all different system emulators sounds slightly irritating but also it’d be nice just to have normal windows apps without all this core nonsense. I guess I would miss the easy hot keys

What's the best Saturn emulator for PC these days? I'm tired of Retroarch and its annoying menu.

The EuroMerry theme park is now open for business!

You can get All Games Are Good in glorious hardcover for the princely sum of fifteen dollars! That is $15!! It's really good, too! limitedrungames.com/products/all...

Does anyone know exactly how much the Goemon collection costs on the JP eShop?

𝐌𝐘𝐀𝐔 𝐌𝐈𝐗 𝐃𝐄𝐏𝐓.: The latest trend in gaming is "RPGs," which stands for "Revoltingly Plodding Games!" These are games in which you can't make any progress unless you first spend three hours fighting Owl Bears over and over! Sega's latest is a real... 𝐏𝐇𝐀𝐍-𝐃𝐑𝐎𝐖𝐒𝐘 𝐒𝐍𝐎𝐑𝐄

Did 2000+ words between about 10pm and 11pm so I’m assigning myself a vacation day

I suppose it is slightly rich of me to complain about anything on Wikipedia being inaccurate when something I put on there as a joke over a decade ago has been parroted without research in a billion online articles and now has a citation from an academic journal to confirm the veracity of my lie

Right, I’ve decided that this is absolute wank that TV Tropes tossers have tried to brute force into gaming history despite the fact they made it up between writing appalling lists of meaningless shit that overuse italics and destroyed a generation’s media literacy. Get to fuck!

three years old comic

I see that @wayforward.bsky.social are putting out Billy & Jimmy plushies from River City Girls 2 and I love that, but... when are they going to make the Skullmageddon cuddle pillow I crave so desperately?

Is "Nintendo hard" actually a thing people said back in the day? It has a whole Wikipedia page that claims it was said in the NES days, but I never saw it until TV Tropes.

check out my Miku

Has anyone seen Merry? I can’t find her anywhere. I think she might have escaped.

This was mentioned on the most recent Retronauts community podcast but I'll announce it here in formal text mode: I will return to the Retronauts site in August with a new project! The Sega Master System Directory begins August 4th 2026 and CONTINUES WEEKLY UNTIL IT'S DONE. Every. Goddamn. Game!

sorry for posting i had all my post ideas just now. i should of spaced them out. it was inconsiderate of your feelings and i'm sorry. i will do it again.

I could do with a new @hg101.bsky.social book, recharge the old batteries a bit. When's that Falcom book coming out? I'm all in, day one.

Cyber Shadow? Completed it mate

Today I learned thanks to @taskbaarchitect.com that Faxanadu on NES is Famicom Xanadu. I don't know why I didn't know this because I love Xanadu. So I started Faxanadu this evening and, erm, I fucking love it. What a treat. A new-to-me NES game that rocks.

I think people have gone genuinely mental about GTA VI

I don't think I'm up for a third round of Mercury Steam Metroid right now. All that parrying and that. Just a bit silly isn't it. Of course, when it comes out it'll probably be shit hot and I'll buy it immediately like the total twat that I am.

Merry Hell will no longer be available as a physical comic strip. New Merry Hell comics will be digital only going forward.

NoPayStation, google it. There is literally no moral or ethical reason not to rinse Sony at this point, they don't want your money so you're actually doing them a favour. NoPayStation, Rusty, RPCS3 and you're laughing.

I've been browsing @snescentral.com lately and they just followed me on here, do they somehow know? I'm frightened

so let me get this straight - PlayStation 6 will cost £800 at a generous minimum and likely far more - There will be no physical discs whatsoever, including back compatability with your PS5 discs - The games themselves will cost £60 at a generous minimum and likely far more console for who??????

Just can't get into Deltarune. Dunno why. Just can't.

Finding it tough to get a straight answer on this - were Wii Virtual Console games universally 50hz/PAL in Europe? I know there are *some* exceptions but, broadly speaking, if you bought and downloaded say a SNES game on a European Wii in Europe you'd be getting the slowdown, borders etc, yes?

[One attosecond after learning Humphrey Smith died] (Walks into a Sam Smith’s pub staring directly at phone) fuck fuck cunt shit shit piss cunt fuck yeah throw me out now you fucking prick (deliberately soils self)

the way Phil pushes Ape out the door to safety and then gets between her and the "gorilla" has just put a lump in my throat, the world doesn't deserve as great a man as Phil Margera

one of the all time great cinema reveals. Jackass was so good at reveals.

HE FELL FOR THE SOUP!!!

I have a Ko-Fi and if you like my stuff you can throw me a few bucks for pop, it helps me out a hell of a lot. ko-fi.com/stuartgipp

Just want to make it clear that this is NOT Merry and NOT associated with Merry Hell. I have consulted my solicitor

Surprise! A small excerpt from the book can now be read over at @radiotimes.bsky.social. All the thanks to @robleane.bsky.social! www.radiotimes.com/technology/g...

Hey, this is the comic I wrote that I mentioned earlier. Go read it.

When I can't afford to pay the electrician and we have to come to an alternative arrangement

Quite a lot of Ken Penders on my feed today, did he die?

No, Dick Farm Dunn ruined it.

I'm sorry for all my postings. What can I say? I love to post. In fact, you could make a case that I was born to post! Cut me, and I bleed posts. I'm a poster!

Splatoon seems like it's probably fun but christ almighty do I loathe its disgusting visuals. Those awful awful looking characters. Sorry I know it's literally your favourite thing ever but it is just so shit mate. Sorry. Don't bother replying unless it's to agree with me, cheers

I'd forgotten all about this silly goof strip
